By the way, as a piece of free editing, please note that in your quote above, if you say "everyone", that implies that every single person you have ever met is an absolute cock. I think you meant "every one" (note the space), which makes the assertion relevant to just the subject of your previous sentences; editors.
See, editing can have a purpose - it can remind you how pedantic people can be  |
LOL.
See, this is why I should never ever write anything ever again.
Plus, you're not a cock, so it's okay for you to do it.
Some of them though...man, you'd want to take a cricket bat to their smug faces.
EDIT: And saying all that, my temperament would never allow me to work with an editor, whether they were doing me harm or good. I'm pretty much outside of the loop when it comes to writing these days. I don't want money or fame or an audience even. I maybe have another year of stories left in me, and a couple of standalone novels that I really have to write before I finally admit to myself that the whole thing bores me. So whatever opinions I hold, they're not really going to be helpful to anyone else.
